Word Up!

The Party As part of its ongoing effort to support reading among at-risk families, The Reading Connection hosted its ninth annual fundraiser, aptly titled, Of Wine & Words. The People Guests mingled with this year’s literacy honoree, Henry Cole, emcee Doreen Gentzler of NBC4 and Chef Chair Adam Barnett of Eventide Restaurant. Best in Show Guests had the chance to win big from a gamut of prizes, including vacation packages, sports tickets and date-night combos, during the silent auction, which helped raise $82,000 for The Reading Connection.
